I never watched all of “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” But for you high school graduates, they got it right. Since I’ll never get asked, here’s what I’d say in a speech to grads. I graduated from Monroe High School in 1979 with absolutely no clue what life was gonna throw at me. Case in […]
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” — Ferris Bueller, 1986. “And the folks putting the pedal to the metal hope you don’t even take a peek.” — Craig Hall, 2023. To put it plainly, you’d be missing a lot. And a lot […]
If the COVID insanity taught us anything, it’s that people will do whatever government tells them. Especially when it’s done using government force. The sad result is government now knows it can get away with so much more — much of it without “force” per se. But never worry, that kind of force will be […]
If there’s a constant in government and its Borg of a bloated bureaucracy that assimilates everything in its path, it’s this: Everything government has made more expensive it will use tax dollars to reduce the price or cost to make it more palatable for citizens to swallow.

Because no matter how hard humans try, wish or demand, natural law always wins. Thank God it does. I mean, where would our lives be without the law of gravity, the law of relativity, the law of attraction and the rest of the laws governing the universe? In total disorder, that’s where. Or, in relation […]
If the train version worked for Ol’ Benito, someone running for president of the United States might give it a go as a slogan. Even Mayor Pete might try it because in his alternative universe, there’s no irony or shame. Even though the only way he got his bike to run on time was to […]
How can anyone be shocked classified documents were found in the homes and offices of President Joe Biden? If you are, then put down the Kool-Aid. After all, Democrats have known this since before the election in November. Guess what? First, they didn’t tell the American people. Second, knowing Democrats as I do, they’ve known […]
Just in case you never thought you’d be more frightened than reading the nine words Ronald Reagan made famous — “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help” — have no fear. Government continues to make things worse. Who needs Jesus when government can save you? So, let’s look at one way our lords […]
